small mars rover and rocket designed to get to mars and land using a skycrane. this is a rocker bogie rover AND IS NOT RECCOMENDED TO GO OVER 8 MPS due to flipping hazard(same thing can be said for acceleratrion, up pitch slowly). the staging is already set up as follows:
REMOVING FAIRING IN EDITOR WILL MESS UP STAGING>always save craft if you want to look at individual components.
STAGING(always autosave):
rcs off
FIRST STAGE:rockets-get craft out of atmosphere using standard orbital tactics
SECOND STAGE:Interstage
THIRD STAGE:rockets-burn to mars at most efficient point
FOUeploy parashutesRTH STAGE:fairings expose craft, interstage
FIFTH STAGE: rockets--burn a tregectory into mars' atmosphere when reached perlapsus in mars' shphere of influnce
SIXTH STAGE:interstage-prepare for re-enntry by locking prograde and turning rcs' on and brake %100
SEVENTH STAGE:@20 km AGL-deploy parahutes, release intersages for heat sheald and mono stablelization tank
EIGHTH STAGE: disconect from parashute hub and start skycrane rockets-set thrust to at least %5 and gentily slow down until you reach ground-turn on landing lights if on dark side of mars
NINETH STAGE:disconect skycrane from rover-this works best at 1/5 speed and when you make contact with the ground
LAST STAGE:after skycrane has safely flew away drop dead weght

HOW TO EXPLORE:turn brake off-control with wasd-use wheel action group to turn on. the arm can be controled with actgroup plus slider 1 and 2. xpand will extend com dish with slider 1. com systems are also controled with the action group and sl 1 and 2. lights are self-explanitory.

HAVE FUN and autosave a lot.
